Steering wheel boss

[Jolfa]

Morning!

I want to put my little baby Momo in my cq, does the standard boss come off my standard 3 spoke jobby? If so would it then be compatible with said Momo?

Otherwise what boss do I need? It's a 1992 cq, looks like a B4 but I'm led to believe they're still B3 underneath? Are B3 & B4 column splines different?

I was kinda hoping it'd be same fitment as my Golf, but it turns out I can't swap anything over from my Golf like I was hoping!

Stock steering wheels are Nardi so they're a 74mm PCD, Momo is 70mm PCD, OE boss is also offset by about 10mm. Best thing to do is just get one off ebay, should be one for £20 delivered second hand. Wouldn't suggest going smaller than 350mm on the steering wheel, I tried a 325mm and it was way too small, looked rediculous too.

I've got a 280mm to go on, I love it, it's so good to drive with!

I've had it in my Golf for a couple of years with no power steering, lowered on 9j wheels and it was still stunning! It might actually be a bit more useable with power steering

OE boss is also offset by about 10mm.

Just curious what is the benefit/reason for this?

probably to tweak the driving position - lots of press in the early days of the B3 / B4 series cars said the steering wheel was too high

[Jolfa]

This fit the bill? Or will I have a different size spline being a 1992?

i have one of those that has just arrived to put a 20v wheel on one of my Urs and the item you get looks different to the picture. its a pile of crap tbh and needs fiddling with which i expected. i will be stunned if it works. The splines are ok it the horn/indicator cancelling that will be interesting, its made in Turkey which is apt

[Jolfa]

As long as it will fit a 92 cq, and a Momo will fit to it, it'd suit me just fine!

It's just whether or not it will fit a 92 cq...?

[john johnson]

i would say it will, assume that it could be £20 wasted which is what i did as finding a boss to fit is a nightmare
Just fitted the wheel to the boss fine, i will look at it on the car when i get home and try it on the car....i think i will have to grind the lug down though for the indicator cancelling

[john johnson]

Fits fine, only downside is the hooter does not work with either wheel! checked the fuse so that's another job... FFS

[Jolfa]

So the splines on a cq and a UR are the same?

I can live without self cancelling indicators

[john johnson]

well i know people who have transferred wheels across no problem, but as i have not had a cq cannot confirm this
